It's not like I'm inactive, I've been going for runs and stuff lately to make me more tired, but it seriously is not working. I don't know.  What helps you fall asleep better?  I tried taking some melatonin and it didn't do anything.  I don't really want to take anything super chemical, either, in the interest of preserving my health. Half of this is I want advice, and half of this is just a rant.  I'm SO MAD.  I wanted to sleep so long last night and it's not fair.

I have insomnia though, so my situation is more severe than yours. Ambien and Lunesta FTW. All 3 previous replies displayed.
